CHAPTER 7 Hypothesis Tests Applied to Means
CHAPTER 7 Hypothesis Tests Applied to Means
Objectives
To introduce the t test as a procedure for testing hypotheses with
measurement data, and to show how it can be used with several different
designs. To describe ways of estimating the magnitude of any differences that
do appear.
